He Needs STRAINS.

The Salvation Army occasionally fur
nishes an item for tho papers that some
times causes little surprise. Another
reclaimed sinner has departed from the
straight and narrow ways and is now
very much worried lest the story of his
shortcomings should reach the public
ear. Being in need of little ready
cash the other day, he went to one of
the 'frail flowers of the city and repre-
sented himself as an agent in the United
States secret service. The expected
check" story worked very we'll, and he
secured the necessary money. The time
for the repayment of the amount came,
and the psendo detective could not
furnish the whercwithal. His wife even
appeared upon the scene, and said that
unforeseen circumstances would somc-
times arise that neccssitated such deals
But the fair creditor finally became
rather clamor Jus for her pay, and the
debtor proposed that she should take
him for the debt, and then both skip
for Des Moines. "Young man," said
she, you can have just three days to
rustic and get me that money" He is
rustling. With what result will appear
in a short time.

"St. Andrews Brotherhood"

The people of Council Bluffs possess
more than passing interest in the
elevation of the young men, judging
from the audience that assembled last
evening at st, Paul's Episcopal church,
for it was large and healthy active
interest was manifested. An ad-
dress was made by Arch Pow
ell, member of the st. Andrews
Brotherhood in Omaha. The objects
and practical workings of the order
were fully described. Although yet in
its infancy the organization has men,
bership of more than 10000 persons.
Its objects are mutual assistance and
moral elevation Of members and the
reformation of those who are the slaves
of appetite or who are just forming
the habits which will prove their ruin.
Surely there is need for active work of
this character in Council Bluffs, and n
chapter should he organized here. No
special appeal should be necessary to
induce hearty cooperation OF all
without regard to church relation or
affinity.
